It should be fairly easy to do automatic postings to Freenet from Subversion. Make a Python or Ruby interface to Freenet and all will be well. Actually distributing the data store will be harder, SVN relies on a central data store. If you're looking for something that could be held on a freesite and checked out from there I suggest darcs (http:// abridgegame.org/darcs/) as it doesn't rely on a central repository or any special servers. -- Phillip Hutchings phillip.hutchings at sitharus.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
